Pet Adoption Story Template

A vertical Story for animal shelters, rescues and foster networks. A full-screen pet photo does the emotional work, a small badge at the top names your rescue, and a rounded white card at the bottom introduces the animal: their name, age, breed, temperament and a button to apply.

Design details

The white card covers only the lower part of the photo, leaving the pet's face fully visible. Rubik's rounded letters feel warm and approachable, with a large weight for the name. A single deep orange is used for the badge icon, eyebrow and button, so the call to action is easy to spot.
